Right then I got it working! There are 2 set/groups of registry keys, one that controls the toolbar locations and a 2nd one that controls the trays. I made a copy of both, rearranged my toolbars and trays, made a 2nd copy of both and I'm now able to import the appropriate reg file and then open SU with my chosen layout. I'm reluctant to post the regfile locations as I don't want to be responsible for screwing others setup up but if you ask I'll message you directly.

If installing SketchUp using "Run as administrator" doesn't work for you... You might need to manually install the files it's choking on in the error message... That is Microsoft.NET framework 4.5.2 or better [64 & 32 bit] Which should include C++ libs 14 ? Download it separately and install it... https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/dotnet-framework-runtime/net452 Then retry installing SketchUp using "Run as administrator"...

@max58 said: ........ I mean I want to resize only lenght and not the diameter of element. Which tool can i use ? In which way ? I would use the 'Move'tool on a (selection of) rod(s) that need to be moved. You can move the rod from its current position to where you create a guide (parallel to the rod).

The deletion of unwanted Bundles is a long-planned addition. But it's not available yet. I suggest you send a PM to Gábor - he can remove unwanted Bundles from your user-profile... Let him know what you want to vanish...

Great! Many thanks...

It works for me here, in fact its quite annoying in that there's no way in the UI to reset the dialog, except reset workspace but that would reset everything. To turn the dialog back on you need to edit the .json preferences file. Have a look at this file: ~/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2018/SketchUp/SharedPreferences.json ShowSectionToolDlg is set false when you click that box, but there's then no way to untick it apart from editing this file (or using defaults in terminal). If it has never been set that line may not be there. [pre:2srkkumf]"Preferences": { … "ShowSectionToolDlg": false,[/pre:2srkkumf] Edit at your own risk and there's something wrong anyway if SketchUp isn't writing the preference file to disk at least when you quit SketchUp.

Edit: OK the easiest way I could do it was to create the copings on a straight arc then use Shape bender. Then you might have to adjust with soften/smooth window a little. Copings are made by selecting the top face (or just the outline) of the arc and copying lower down, then use regular push-pull. [image: SXMO_ScreenShot2018-05-29at11.07.16AM.png]

The only way a style could do that is with an overlay watermark image. Styles can't directly modify materials. You could make a single color image and add it as a watermark. Adjust the blending as needed. I used white in this example but a gray might be more appropriate. I set it up so the overlay only covered part of the screen for the example.

Thanks for the reply. I was able to get better results using a program that limited the distance of the triangulation lines and then bringing that into sketchup. Ultimately though we ended up sending the file back to the surveyor to obtain additional break lines to use. We were able to get a usable topo. Thanks again

@sdmitch said: Select groups. Copy and paste the following code into the Ruby Console and press Enter. mod = Sketchup.active_model > ent = mod.active_entities > sel = mod.selection > sel.grep(Sketchup;;Group).each{|g| > pt = Geom;;Point3d.linear_combination(0.5,g.bounds.corner(4),0.5,g.bounds.corner(7)) > ent.add_text(g.name,pt,[0,0,g.bounds.depth]) > } > Oh MAN! Sorry for the incredibly late reply on this. Thank you! Its crazy that sketchup doesnt have a bult in feature to do BOM with bubble callouts etc.

Oh my god, you just saved my life, Box. Thank you! That works absolutely perfect and as I wanted to. Also, Dave, thank you very much for your time and goodwill (I hope this is the right word, I have translated it ). I hope this will also work in lumion when I apply textures. I will let you guys know. Thanks, thanks, thanks! [image: dYlY_finish.jpg]

Doesn't sound like a dynamic component or geolocation issue if it is removed by save and reopen. Perhaps you can record it to gif or vid next time it happens.

There's also the Reduce Polygons function built into Artisan. However I agree with Dave R that you should try cleaning up the model first. Otherwise the Blender option is pretty good even with complex geometry. It has the added benefit of retaining UV mapping too.

@box said: Your preferences dialog is appearing off screen, have you recently changed your monitor layout? Go Window/Preference to get the focus on the dialog, then hit alt and space together, then m, then tap any arrow key once and without clicking anything, move the mouse around until the preferences dialog appears on the screen. While you have it there go to Workspace and hit the reset workspace button. Holy mackerel...you are a life-saver! Yes, we had been adjusting monitor layouts recently. Thank you so much!

That isn't the FOV (not how it works when setting FOV in Sketchup anyway). You are describing a viewing position dictated by the middle distance between two points. You could temporarily draw a plane between the two lines and then use that with Align View.

Thanks Box in fact I did not know that... But I like if I select an component that i see fast how are the dimensions, this is comfortable. Have a nice day.
